Hummus Mushroom Toast

Before you say, "ew mushrooms", give this salty and savory toast a chance for lunch will you? The combination of the creamy and garlicky hummus and the savoriness of the baby shiitake mushrooms is to die for. So, give my Hummus Mushroom Toast a try for your next brunch or lunch.

You'll get some protein and healthy fats from the hummus, and fiber from the toast and mushrooms. It's a great recipe to pair with side of lean protein such as eggs, chicken sausage, chicken breast, or canned tuna fish.

You can choose to either make the hummus yourself by following along my "Authentic Hummus" recipe or use a store bought hummus. My go-to brand is Ithaca, especially the lemon garlic flavor. Either way, this is a very simple and quick recipe you can make in under 10 minutes. So grab a piece of sourdough, hummus, baby shiitake mushrooms, fresh parsley, and thyme. Let's get to the recipe!

Prep time: 5 minutes (unless you make the hummus - 15 minutes)
